Smartphone sales appear to be slowing, and it seems that the biggest smartphone market – China – has hit saturation point. Some 30% of all smartphones sold in the world are sold there, so when something happens in that market it has a profound impact on the figures. …

Here is the smartphone market share according to IDC. Have a look at that purple line. That’s Windows Phone. As you can see, for 3 years, it’s not really moved a great deal. I’m not going to say anything more about that. I wish Windows Phone was more …

Got yourself a Windows Phone? Know anyone with a Windows Phone? Yeah. There’s a problem isn’t there? See, low-cost handsets were doing well for Microsoft and Nokia. Those Lumia 520 devices were doing well for a bit, and MicroNokia has since followed up with some Android devices which …

The latest figures from analytics firm comScore are out and the news, based on these figures, is pretty bad. The figures go all the way up to December 2012, when shiny Windows Phone 8 handsets like the Lumia 920 were sitting on shelves at the height of the …

Market research firm Canalys today revealed the news that Lenovo has sold more handsets worldwide than Nokia for quarter three of 2012. Whilst the main mitigating factor would have been the impending launch of the new Lumia 820 and 920 handsets this signifies just how big a downfall …

The IDC figures are out. Samsung now have nearly a quarter of the market, holdiing a 24.1% market share in Q2 2012. Compare that to an 18.8% market share last year. Nokia are still in the top five mobile phone vendors but have seen their market share dip …

Hmmm… Reviews for the Nokia Lumia 900 over in the USA are certainly mixed. What seems to be coming across isn’t necessarily the hardware either. The specs aren’t as good as other handsets, but Windows Phone doesn’t necessarily need it. Strangely, over here in Europe, the Nokia Lumia …

Figures recently released  by comScore reveal a telling story regarding market share for the major smartphone manufacturers in the United States. Perhaps the biggest suprise is the fall of Microsoft’s share of the market from 5.2% in November ’11 to only 3.9% in Februrary ’12. Microsoft can only …

The figures for actual Windows Phone sales to customers have, at the very best, been a little … “sketchy”. In January we were told that two million devices had sold, but that referred to units going out to stores, not the amount of phones ending up in customer …
